   Few cases in recent memory capture the cruelty and utter insanity of   
   liberal “sanctuary” and soft-on-crime policies like the tragic murder of   
   Stephanie Minter in Fairfax County, Virginia. Her death becomes yet   
   another ugly stain on the tenure of Democrat Governor Abigail   
   Spanberger, who has faced a withering barrage of criticism for running   
   as a moderate and governing as a far-left progressive.   
      
   On February 23rd, Minter, a 41-year-old mom from Fredericksburg, was   
   waiting at a bus stop when she was stabbed multiple times. Her alleged   
   attacker is Abdul Jalloh, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone with no   
   fewer than thirty prior arrests. (The charges were dropped almost every   
   time by Democrat prosecutors.)   
      
   Police say that the attack was random. Jalloh stabbed Minter multiple   
   times in her upper body and left her in the bus stop shelter. She was   
   pronounced dead at the scene.   
      
   That alone should be enough to outrage any decent American. Jalloh never   
   should’ve been in this country in the first place, and any of his dozens   
   of prior run-ins with the law – including charges for rape and assault –   
   should have resulted in his immediate deportation. The fact that he was   
   still in the United States more than a decade after he entered the   
   country in 2012 is a shameful indictment on both federal and local law   
   enforcement.   
      
   But the context of Jalloh’s horrific crime and what preceded it makes   
   Minter’s murder even more enraging.   
      
   Most appalling are the actions of Governor Spanberger prior to and after   
   Minter’s murder. As one of her first acts in office, Spanberger reversed   
   an executive order from former Governor Glenn Youngkin requiring local   
   police to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and   
   other federal law enforcement agencies – effectively turning Virginia   
   into a “sanctuary” jurisdiction for illegal aliens like New York or   
   California.   
      
   During her response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union   
   Address last month, Spanberger also smeared ICE officers as “poorly   
   trained federal agents” who have “ripped nursing mothers away from their   
   babies… sent children to far-off detention centers, and… killed American   
   citizens on our streets.” Those federal agents are the ones protecting   
   Americans from monsters like Jalloh. But Abigail Spanberger apparently   
   views them as the enemy and individuals like Jalloh as the victims of   
   government brutality.   
      
   To add insult to injury, after Jalloh was arrested for Minter’s murder,   
   Spanberger refused to commit to turning him over to federal immigration   
   authorities – meaning that he could be back out on Virginia streets as   
   soon as he serves his time for murder.   
      
   Spanberger claimed that ICE must have a signed judicial warrant if it   
   wants to detain Jalloh. But according to legal experts, ICE couldn’t get   
   a warrant even if they wanted to because Jalloh is currently only facing   
   state charges, not federal charges. Moreover, court precedent has long   
   held that an ICE detainer is more than sufficient for state and local   
   law enforcement to hand over a criminal to federal authorities.   
      
   “This monster is responsible for fatally stabbing Stephanie Minter. ICE   
   does NOT need judicial warrants to make arrests,” the Department of   
   Homeland Security said in a statement responding to Spanberger. “The   
   heroes of ICE will continue to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens   
   across the Commonwealth while Governor Spanberger RELEASES them from   
   jails into Virginia communities to commit more crimes and create more   
   victims.”   
      
   It also turns out, according to excellent reporting from local   
   journalist Nick Minock, that Jalloh is actually quite well known to   
   local police in Virginia – but Fairfax County prosecutor Steve Descano   
   (one of the most infamous far-left prosecutors funded by money from the   
   Soros network) has repeatedly let Jalloh off the hook.   
      
   In fact, according to email records, the Fairfax County Police   
   Department warned Descano’s office not once, not twice, but three times   
   that Jalloh was a danger to the public. Last May, FCPD wrote that Jalloh   
   “has a long history of stabbing community members and is currently on   
   probation for doing that very thing. He has shown a blatant disregard
